One Moment In Time
The life of a mom is full of various moments — some wonderful, some not-so-wonderful, and many in-between.
I have found that in the midst of having a new baby (already 8 weeks old!!), I am constantly reminded that each interaction is simply one moment in time. Each day, hour and minute are just a compilation of moments in time. Moments in which I hope and plan to be a long, long timeline of my life.
It’s easy when the baby is up to nurse in the middle of the night, or my four year old is asking me the same question for the 100th time while the baby is screaming, or I have to change my shirt (again) after being spit up on right before walking out the door to feel like these not-so-wonderful moments will be my moments (and life) forever.
But they won’t. Just as the wonderful moments are simply here to enjoy and cherish as they come today. Tomorrow is a new day. A new day which will be full of many more moments in time.
As I find my mind wandering off about work rather then being present with my children or I find my frustration rising as the baby won’t fall (or stay) asleep easily for nap, I choose to remind myself that this too shall pass…and if I am not careful, it will pass before I know it and I’ll be wishing longingly for just one more moment in this time of my life.
